I forgot to report that Elias's lunch table at camp won "4. Preis fuer Tischmanieren" ("4th-Place Prize for Table Manners"). The teachers said Elias and his friends Johannes, Paul, and Ricarda really deserved first place prizes (which, trust me, is more impressive for what it says about the low standards here than for any active accomplishment), but the rest of the kids brought the table down. To put things in perspective, the total number of lunch tables was five.
